Above average

Although this book is a little on the glossy side, it does offer quite a bit more than the usual memory party trick books. It doesn't bother to try to include background synthesis that you really don't need. It goes beyond the cheesy pegging system and absurd association buffonery. So if you're an adult, you won't be as offended. Little bits of insight are included, such as how learning chinese characters isn't necessarily as overwhelming as it seems. These insights are actually worth the 14.95 price of the book. A mature adult, after all, doesn't need to show off at parties by memorizing the phone book. This book then, I can safely recommend as relatively more practical than the rest. The only drawback is the glossy packaging, making it look something like a dumbed down, coffe table, psycho-gibberish book.
